Christine Anu - The Crab and the Suckerfish (Gapu a Githalay) Lyrics

There's a slight breeze, ripples on the water
Just a touch of wind comes then dead flat calm
Here he comes the suckerfish, we call it Gapu
Sitting in the coral there swimming down below
Buka Ari patterns on the sea top
You can feel the naygay (north wind) alive on my skin
Hidden in the mangroves
Amadhan nagi. Camouflage. ((You must look closely)-
The Crab and the Suckerfish
Gapu a Gitalai

The magic show begins
The catfish, the orange moon
There's bamboo poles, theres vine for rope
And a tall cotton tree by the deep lagoon
Thagaw Nis floats on the grey green water
Thagaw Nis drifts with the gentle tide
Hidden in the mangroves
Amadhan nagi. Camouflage. ((You must look closely)-
The Crab and the Suckerfish
Gapu a Gitalai

Buka Ari patterns on the sea top
You can feel the north wind alive on my skin
The Crab and the Suckerfish
It's a coming home for me
Hidden in the mangroves
What a sight to see
Gapu a Gitalai
It's a coming home for me
Amadhin nagi (Camouflage)
The only place to be
Gapu a Gitalai
Gapu a Gitalai
Gapu a Gitalai"
